Life spins loose and wild in this third issue of The Mechanics’ Institute Review. The construction worker’s terror, the hotel clerk’s lust, a rodent’s revenge, the jilted lover’s compulsion – from Tokyo to Virginia, from Docklands to the Balkans, these tales take you on a tour around some of today’s most enthralling new writing, with original illustrations provided by up-and-coming artists and a preface by Julia Bell.
